The authors consider a long-term fracture of a reinforced viscoelastic composite material due to the propagation of a penny-shaped crack of normal separation under the action of constant loading. The problem is reduced to consideration of nonlinear integral equations. Numerical results are obtained for fixed material components, volume fractions and different parameters of crack resistance.
